Spending my time sleep walking   Moving my mouth but not saying a thing   Hoping the changes would take by working their way from the outside in   I was in love with an idea   Preoccupied with how a life should appear   Spending my time at the surface repairing the holes in the shiny veneer      There are so many ways to hide   There are so many ways not to feel   There are so many ways to deny what is real      And I just showed up for my own life   And I'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright      I'm going to live my life inspired   Look for the holy in the common place   Open the windows and feel all that's honest and real until I'm truly amazed   I'm going to feel all my emotions   I'm going to look you in the eyes   I'm going to listen and hear until it's finally clear and it changes our lives      There are so many ways to hide   There are so many ways not to feel   There are so many ways to deny what is real      And I just showed up for my own life   And I'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright      Oh the glory of God is man fully alive   Oh the glory of God is man fully alive      There are so many ways to hide   There are so many ways not to feel   There are so many ways to deny what is real      And I just showed up for my own life   And I'm standing here taking it in and it sure looks bright
